it's bad news on the bank loan. they basically just said we are not doing it. a bitter blow. i've got a myriad of emotions all rolled into one right now, but the main one is to spare. are you going to be ok? i've got this far, i ain't going to give up. but, i don't know what it is i'm not giving up on any more, because... there's not really any hope. the covid crisis, countless futures rewritten and reshaped and no way of knowing the long term mental health legacy. jeremy cooke, bbc news. for details of organisations offering information and support with mental health go to bbc.co.uk/actionline or you can call for free at any time to hear recorded information on 08000155 998. a private spacecraft,

built and operated by spacex, an american aerospace company, has docked at the international space station. it's the first time that a fully—operational private craft has transported astronauts from earth to the station. the four astronauts, three from the us and one from japan, will be spending the next six months there. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill reports. let us know when your review is complete and you are ready for docking. dragon, spacex — soft capture confirmed. docking sequence is complete. welcome to the iss, resilience. the end of a 27—hour taxi ride to space. for the first time, four astronauts have arrived for their mission on the internation space station aboard a commercial spacecraft. nasa's michael hopkins, victor glover and shannon walker and the japanese space agency astronaut soichi noguchi will spend about six months living and working on the space station. i cannot tell you how

excited we were when that rocket lifted off the pad, and the last 27 hours, it's gone really smoothly. three, two, one, zero. ignition. sunday night's spacex launch marked a new era for nasa — one in which it buys seats for its astronauts from a private aerospace company. it's a move the us space agency says will save it billions of dollars that it can invest in future missions to the moon and mars. why is this flight such a big moment? companies like spacex are reusing so many parts of their rocket. the first—stage boosters, the nose fairings, all being captured. it's really pushing what we can do with technology to the limits. but it's bringing down the cost of access to space. for this crew, when their mission is done in 2021, their private space taxi will be waiting to bring them home. victoria gill, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcaster david davies and katy balls, deputy political editor of the spectator. tomorrow's front pages: the guardian reports ppe suppliers with political connections were directed to a high—priority channel for uk government contracts where bids were ten times more likely to be successful. that's according to a report by the parliamentary spending watchdog. and the metro carries a warning from auditors that billions of pounds in coronavirus spending is unaccounted for, with government cronies accused

of profiting from the pandemic. the i reports that the governmment is working on a revamped system of local tiers to keep covid infections under control after england's lockdown restrictions are lifted on 2nd december, with extended support bubbles of up to four households that could enable families and friends to gather safely over christmas. according to the daily telegraph, sir keir starmer faces mutiny from his own mps after labour was accused of "adding insult to injury" by readmitting jeremy corbyn to the partyjust three weeks after he was suspended in a row over anti—semitism. the ft says boris johnson will set out details tomorrow of a £12 billion "green industrial revolution", insisting to conservative critics that a new environmental focus will not cost the party votes in the former labour heartlands it seized in the last election.

so, a lot to get through, welcome to you both. katy, let's start with you, keir starmer under fire as corbyn readmitted, very swift return forjay call, but the question now about whether the weight will be reinstated. -- jeremy corbyn. yes, it wasn't so long ago that people we re it wasn't so long ago that people were saying keir starmer was taking really strong action in the decision, even if it wasn't directly made by him, to suspend jeremy corbyn from the party in the light of the ehrc report, afterjeremy corbyn had put out a statement in which he did suggest that anti—semitism is a problem in the party had been overstated. that clashed with what keir starmer had said, you know, that day, and he went on to say that this idea that anyone who says it is not a big as

problem as it is does not have a place in the labour party. now we reach a point where he has, according to the nec, the party's structures, been admitted, but it is now about what action keir starmer will take, because that decision was made by the nec, the national executive committee, under their procedures, rather than by keir starmer personally. he still has a chance to say, i am going to take a strong sedans and keep the whip withdrawn, but we have only so far had a tweet from keir starmer, and you now, he did acknowledge it was another difficult day for the jewish community, but he didn't take that opportunity to say what he would do. soi opportunity to say what he would do. so i think it could happen, but i think it is quite clear it is a bit ofa think it is quite clear it is a bit of a quandary for the new labour leader, and we could be in a situation where he upsets both sides. david, you are nodding. i mean, he is between a rock and a ha rd

mean, he is between a rock and a hard place on this one, whichever decision he takes. for absolutely certain, he is between a rock and a harder place, and, you know, the telegraph story uses the word that there is disbelief from some labour mps, presumably talking about people like margaret hodge. i think one of theissuesis like margaret hodge. i think one of the issues is that a number of them have been rising is the lack of any apparent contrition from the former labour leader for what he said, all the way he said it, more importantly. and, you know, this story is not easily going to go away, there is huge feeling within the jewish community about what has happened, and some of them feel very let down, that is very obvious this evening, from what has happened or not happened today. can ijust read out the statement on facebook today,

katy, we must never tolerate anti—semitism or belittle concerned about it, i regret the pain this issue has caused thejewish community — is that halfway towards contrition? i think it is along the way. several members of thejewish community have since said it is not enough of the way, and i think if you look back tojeremy corbyn‘s time as labour leader, the fact that the anti—semitism rows came up time and again, there was a pattern here, there would be a big furore, jeremy corbyn would eventually come often a few days later, come up with something which appeared to be an apology but actually, if you looked closely, was not the full apology people were looking for. and i think thatis people were looking for. and i think that is why there is this general sense among those who feel they have been subject to this for such a long time, they are not willing to give these things the benefit of the doubt, they do not think it is there. the storyjust below that, a landing zone insight, my goodness, really? well, really, i don't know

about you, i have to declare an interest here, i am an anglo irish citizen with an irish passport, but a lot of the story seems to be driven by what the irish us in, and in this case the irish prime minister, who said that there is landing zone is in sight, it appears that the french have given a bit of ground on the thorny question of fishing rights and who fishes where and who doesn't fish where. and there is also a paragraph in the story from my namesake without the e. story from my namesake without the e, david davis, who i can remember saying to me two years ago, when he was still in government, this will never be settled until the very last minute. and what he means by the la st minute. and what he means by the last minute, he makes clear in the story, is, you know, the lead up to christmas, if not slightly lighter. his point is that if there is any

settlement earlier than that, it will upset the french fishermen and women. katy, what are you hearing? as always with brexit, you have to ta ke as always with brexit, you have to take this with a pinch of salt, because it is still a negotiation. the de facto chief of staff for borisjohnson, the de facto chief of staff for boris johnson, known the de facto chief of staff for borisjohnson, known as steady ed, he addressed tory mps this evening... he is the only one left, isn't he? one of a handful left! i understand he told tory mps what the prime minister's priorities were, one, coronavirus, two, brexit, trying to get a good deal. i think in terms of time, we keep saying there is a crunch deadline, and i was told many times it was this thursday, it now seems to have been pushed back slightly, but i think there is a deal to be done, and we are getting to the point where this landing zone could be next week. i

think there is much appetite in government for boris johnson to agree a deal. ok, onto the i, families will meet again in christmas covid plans, four households — where is this coming from? well, you know, it looks like some good news, doesn't it?|j from? well, you know, it looks like some good news, doesn't it? i am just trying to work out where they have got these from, this is the government working on... is this elite or something? my instinct is they say is everybody, even in scotland as well, is trying to create some good news for christmas. it is not all going to come right by christmas, but at least there might bea christmas, but at least there might be a little bit ofjoy for everybody at christmas. i find this rather strange. 0n the same day that uk deaths rose by 598, the biggest dailyjump in six months. you know,

the total cases are now heading towards 1.5 million. the worst thing of all would seem to be poor old matt hancock, who seems to be... his role in the government is to come out and sort of try and put a decent spin on the worst news of the week. imean, he spin on the worst news of the week. i mean, he says it is too early to know if current restrictions are working, and that means what is going to happen after december the 2nd, your guess is as good as his. there is a politicalfixation, katy, about some form of relaxation for christmas, but i suppose at what cost? i mean, what are you hearing, they could even be another tier in england to mirror the scottish system, which may bejust england to mirror the scottish system, which may be just a england to mirror the scottish system, which may bejust a smidgen short of lockdown? i think the government is staying very tight—lipped about the official rules, going back to that meeting, eddie lister was asked by mps, on christmas, and he wouldn't give much

away, and ultimately people say there is an obsession, but it is also the reality of a concern in government that if you don't relax the rules around christmas, on christmas day, a lot of people will break the rules you have not already broken the rules. if you have mass breaking of the rules, people will say, once you rebel once, it is easier to do it again. two, what does it suggest about the system? i think that is why there are —— there isa think that is why there are —— there is a lot of talk about why to fix it. the problem seems to me that any vaccine hope is more seen towards the spring onwards, so there is a serious chance, even though boris johnson wants to avoid it, that we could end up, you know, i would briefly, then another form could end up, you know, i would briefly, then anotherform of lockdown, attempt four, for most of january, and i think there is an important thing of managing expectations that the government

will have to do, notjust about december the 25th, but the months and weeks after that. turkey workers will apparently get an exemption to ensure the festive dinner is on the table. let's move on to the guardian and, yeah, david, this nao report is, well, it is breathtaking, i don't think i've read anything quite like it for many years. you now, eventually, as we all now, there is bound to be a public inquiry into who did what and when through this whole covid prices, and it promises to be pretty explosive, not least due to our lack of readiness to provide the necessary ppe in early days. and here, to nobody's great surprise, i suspect, we are told that corners were cut, that there was this high priority channel 4 uk government contracts where bids were ten times more likely to be

successful. —— this high priority channel for uk government contracts. it isa channel for uk government contracts. it is a huge issue, and the sums of money involved are not small. and, katy, half of these contracts, half of these deals were done without a competitive tender, some of them with tens of millions of pounds, the contract not even signed when work had started. i mean, this is going to be potentially very damaging, isn't it? i think it is, as to be potentially very damaging, isn't it? ithink it is, as hasjust been said, you now, in the inquiry, which we do expect to eventually get, all of this will come out. i think one of the things, and obviously more details are out there, what is the timing? if you think back to lockdown, it was all hands on deck, the government was so overwhelmed by the task of coronavirus that, i mean, i remember when there was ppe in turkey,
